Yes — 6 Deep Filled Mince Pies is ultra-processed.

This product is ultra-processed due to several industrial ingredients and additives, including glucose syrup, glucose-fructose syrup, gelling agent (pectin), preservatives such as potassium sorbate, sodium metabisulphite and sulphur dioxide, acidity regulators (sodium citrates, citric acid when used as a regulator), refined vegetable oils (palm and rapeseed), flavouring, and barley malt extract. These indicate an industrial formulation beyond basic culinary processing, placing it in the NOVA ultra-processed category.
